An IdiOsyncraSy

No doubt many readers of the daily press
have noticed the peculiar punctuation in the
inscription of the name of Maj j,r Ben. Periey
Poore, tie wrll-known Washington D. e.,
correspondent who for half century has
kept the American world en- fdpp0r with
capitol matters.
dramatically, of course the major has
not an iota of right to the color distinction.
There is apparently no meaning to it in the
sense referred to just nOw--nO more than il
he hould assert the divine independence OF
all American citizens aud place note of in
terrogation or an asterisk instead Of a color
after BEN.
Webster defines colon as a print OF char

Readers may pause and smile over the as,
sumption of one among whose sef-imposed
duties is that Of pure English but they can
not halt in admiration over the majors in
difference to the rules Of orthography.
In the sense of correct English which it is
every writer's duty to vindicate as far as in
him lies the instance referred to is most COL
demnable and should not be encouraged by
the press
1t is the loosest sOpistry to claim that a
man may do what he likes with his own, and
therefore the right exists to spell name iu

general fixed laws, and, as it is understood
their infraction is so much bad grammer.
The maj r has no special preugative in

New Time Table.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will on
and after tomorrow, May 29Lh, run their
trains on a new schedule.
Not only has the time for many of the
regular trains been changed, but two addi-
tional trains between this city and Philadsl-
phia, either way, and one TO Baltimore have
been added.
By consulting the schedule in another
column it will be seen that trains leave Will
mingtou, Delaware Avenue Station for Phil
4delphia els, 100, 1855, 9,45, 1925, and
lila (express) a. M, also 3l5, 4.55 Eek
press), $50, 7.5s and 900 p. M, and on re-
turn trips the trains leave Philadelphia, 24th
and Chi stnut streets at 100 (express) 8 90,
1000 and 10.45 (express) a. M, also at 200,
800. 4.3O 90 (express) $50, $50, : 10and
1890 p. m.
Another important feature in the new ar
rangement is that the Western Bound EI-
press leaving Wilmington at 10 takes pas
sengers for Baltimore which was not done
under the old dspensaton. This enables
Wilmingtonians to spend a major part of
the day in Baltimore for either pleasure or
business, returning can reach here by either
the middle of the afternoon or early evening.
Thus it will be noted that as the manage
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio understand
the necessities and requirements of our
people it hasteus to meet those conditions
without delay.
The road bed is most excellent and even
the slowest trains ON the road make the run
to Philadelphia in sixty minutes. 1t is also
well to note that the fare for the round trip
is kept at the anti-Intor-State Commerce act
rate of 81 90.
I'm passant we would state that it is a
matter of regret to the travelling public that
in the new schedule train was not added
leaving this city for Philadelr rhia about l
O'Clock p. m, as quite number of onr peo-
pie find that desirable hour for trausacting
business in Philadelphia and returning in the

Good Water.

The suggest ions made by. our esteemed
contemporary, Eoerg Egening, in relation to
the contamination of our drinking water, as
it passes through the race channel, from the
sluices carrying surface water aud drainage
into the Brandywiue have been most timely.
It appears that the Board of Health has
taken matters in hand aud propose, If early
attention be not given the subject, to make
repairs and then collect the costs frcm the
Water Department.
This is most commendable and business
like.
But, after all such work is only patch
work. No caulking Of the seams Of the
sluices can be effective. They must warp
and open again under the effect OF 80 de-
grees of heat beating down vertically day
after day upon the woodwork.
The question of pure drinking water dur
ing the hot summer months is Of too much
Importance to be treated by the light, easy,
and indifferent method of patchwork. Ii is
absolutely necessary that all means thin
range of hygienio view be religously taken
care of. There are too many hidden or lat
ent and undiscovered, as far as science can,
see, assailants upon public health through
the media of impure water--to abate one i0i
of vigilance Or care in regard to these that
can be corrected, In extreme hot weather
water is too easily vitiated through natural
causes of stagnation, etc.
There is no excuse for health authorities
doing other than exercising all The pIecar
tiOus within their power, and that without
single exception.

Every session of court running through at

A New Country.

Tt Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany have practically unfolded new conn
try in opening their line between Whining
ton and Philadelphia.
The b. & o. have added to the geogIaphi.
cal history of our country or in other words
have called into existence and made tangi-
BILE reality. Concord! Carrcroft! Silver Side!
Harvey! Carpenter! Boothwyn! Village
Green! FELTON, and Upland, villages, all
lying between this city and Chester. The
enterprise of the B. & o. officials will de-
maud an early revision Of the geography, at
least, of Delaware.
Save where the Wilmington and Northern
Railroad parallels the history of Brandy
wine there is no locality within radius of
a hundred miles of this city which offers
such airy, lovely and beautiful inducements
for temporary or permanent homes as are
presented on the line of the & o., either
to the south as far as Newark or to the north
as far as Chester.
Those seeking retreat for their families
during the heated summer months can fird
ample accommodations accompanied with
all of the surroundings indicative of health,
quiet and comfort and yet be Of easy access
10 their places of business In this city.
The country penetrated is rich in the va
ried beauty OF verdant meadow, grassy slope
and murmuring stream. From the wooded
uplands the eye commands the sweep of the
majestic Delaware, bearing upon its placid
bosom stately argosies freighted with the
garner,d products of distant climes. The
scene is one Of surprising lovelness and all
the surroundings are suggestive of .eace,
plenty aud Iepose.
Special attention is directed to the low
rates for quarterly tickets and other con.
venient forms of transportation, which the
Company has placed on sale.
Neat and attractive station buildings have
been provided for the convenience of patrons
who may be stating upon journey, oil
alighting flom the train.
IL is the aim and desire of the Company tt
meet, as nearly as possible, the wishes of It'll
patrons in the matter of train service and
with this ind kept in view, additional trains
will be added to the schedule from time t.
time.
